25 - ABAP on HANA Part1

ABAP on HANA from the tooling up

This is part one of an ABAP on HANA series. It starts with the basics of SAP HANA, then turns to ABAP development in Eclipse. Along the way it compares ECC, Suite on HANA and S/4HANA systems and explains two programming approaches, data-to-code and code-to-data.

Who it is for

The video suits developers and ABAP learners who need to understand how the HANA database changes the way code is written. It is labeled beginner, so it starts from the database fundamentals before the tooling.

What the tutorial walks through

• How data is saved to disk in SAP HANA
• Introduction to Eclipse and the ABAP Development Tools
• Creating ABAP objects and organizing transports
• Revision history, local history and debugging

The Eclipse half is the practical part, so it helps to have the tool open while you watch.
